I kind of feel sorry for Remedy

When you look back on the year that the XBox One has had, you can't help but feel a little bit sorry for the small army of people coding and making art assets for a game that is for all intents and purposes, doomed not to chart when it comes out.

So many third parties have had to put their games on other systems to try to pull a profit and in the case of Crytek, it seemed that betting on this horse damn there bankrupted them. That can't help but be on your mind while you are pushing 50+ hour work weeks to try to meet a deadline with a game that is now pretty much the last big third party game coming to this troubled system.

It makes me think back to 2006 and 2007 when publishers like Capcom were promising that Devil May Cry will be a PS3 exclusive or when Square Enix boldly posted those videos from Tokyo Game Show proudly touting that FFXIII would be PS3 only. You have to wonder, if at the end of the day, these publishers and developers really will be loyal to a console in the end.

At any rate, I wish Remedy well and best of luck with Quantum Break. They will probably need it. I do look forward to seeing how the game does on PC, though. Just like Sunset Overdrive.

LOL this is almost as bad as you hiding behind the Wii U.

Moogenja takes salty to a new level.

Cows sure are grasping real hard over these last couple of months

You question my genuine concern? We should take a collection to send Remedy some sandwiches.

Yeah, okay.

I feel much more sorry for the D4 creator because he had to beg people to buy his game on twitter.

Any developer making a exclusive game for the xbone must be pretty worried about their prospects righ now. If their game flops and yes many will flop, it will cast a shadow on their reputation.

alan wake was horribly boring but qb looks good so far, an evolution of max payne formula

Yikes. This is pathetic.

Exactly. We should send them sandwiches as well. Sandwiches bundled with Titanfall.

No I'm not questioning anything. You're too transparent.

The lengths you go to though...

I'm not sure if its hilarious or just plain desperate.

You've really been trying hard to make a good post lately, TC.

But I think I speak for everyone when I say please stop trying. It's painful to read. You're far too desperate.

It's okay. Just smile or giggle a little bit. I know the past year has been brutal as an XBox fan, but this is the season of sharing. Which is why we should share sandwich bundles with the people we care about. Like Remedy.

No, QB looks not even close to the quality of max payne.

Terrible boring looking combat system and the storyline reminds me of low-budget sci-fi tv series.

The footage we've seen so far looked incredibly boring and linear.

Evolution my ass, the weak ass time stopping mechanic was devoid of any challenge.

Lol, what a dumb thread.

ok

and maxpayne isnt linear? its an evolution of bullet time, u can do more than simply just slowing down time

Remedy's max payne series also came out a long time ago. This just looks horrible, like alan wake without the interesting back story and light play mechanics.

How about that paint by numbers platforming, puzzle solving?

If QB looked boring what the **** is BloodBourne that's a snoozefest frfr. Qb is going to be great in all sense SO is not coming to pc no time soon.

Not much to discuss here TC. It's getting a bit old with the Microsoft bashing.

Ok, you too.

Max Payne is one of the best franchises and talking about QB as if its in the same league from the footage we have seen is laughable .

Max Payne 3 did not even come close to the brilliance of the first 2 games.

Well everyone knows it will go to PC eventually. Maybe it can garner some sales there.

I thought Alan Wake was awesome. Opinions, FTL.

I actually really like the first half or so of alan wake, it started to fall apart at the end for me but it was still the best thing remedy has made in quite a while.

It a shame it couldn't have remained a pc game from it's inception and retained the open world horror,mystery aspect of it all.

This is stupid. You know they get money from MS to make it exclusive. They aren't making it exclusive out of good will.

Exactly. Crytek's issues are of their own making. Its not like they footed the entire bill for Ryse. They have some good initial ideas but they're a one trick pony from a 2007 game. They're the best at graphics (imo) but below average game designers. Unfortunately it takes both today. Remedy on the other hand doesn't need much help in game design, and MS should buy them but let them do their thing.

Aww, don't be that way. After December 7, you probably won't get much XBox bashing from me anymore. Just enjoy it while you can.

So far from what I've seen from Quantum Break I'm not really that interested, the utilization of stopping time doesn't look all that interesting, about as novel as Time Shift's main mechanic and nothing more. I wish Remedy would have made a true Alan Wake sequel instead. Then again, the last video of the game I've seen was early game, hopefully it shapes up to be a lot cooler.

As far as exclusivity goes, I don't think MS negotiates limitations except as far as timed exclusivity, or maybe so that it just doesn't appear on their primary console competitions platform, probably explaining why Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall and both ended up on PC but not on PS4. Whereas games in the past like FFXIII and FFvsXIII/FFXV and others were supposed to be Sony exclusive (on consoles) but eventually went with Xbox 360, in such cases it wasn't like the publishers were obligated to only serve PlayStation consoles, they just shifted focus to multiplatform given the sizable share of the market MS had.

I'm loving how much you're hyping up this december event.

I really hope it isn't a disappointment like E3 and Gamescom

Yeah, E3 was a huge letdown from MS.

this is an idiotic thread, and makes me wonder how crap like this is even allowed.

Remedy makes a lot of great games and whatever they release will sell a lot . You seem upset that you can't play it on your platform of choice.

Don't be sad, the game looks boring. Just like I said about the Order 1886, the sooner the industry stops making these cinematic, linear, shallow games, the better.

You are a sad human

I kind of feel sorry for TC for being such a sad troll.

I am cry ;( poor remedy.

It's threads like these that make me miss the old rules....

Fucking christ. Alan Wake was one of 360's best exclusives and made a damn fine PC game when it got ported.

I agree. AW was pretty good.

I kind of feel sorry for fanboys. Not really, because they deserve to miss out on good games.

they could always bring it to PC, that worked out pretty well for Alan Wake

I still need to play 2, which I bought on a Steam sale long ago..lol

Disagree completely. qb looks boring as shit and Alan Wake was a pretty damn awesome game.

A sequel to Alan Wake would be awesome, and make it open world like it was originally meant to be. I'd take that over QB.

QB looks kinda cool to bad it will sell bad

i feel the same way too, shew.

I feel as though remedy is they new rare :(

kinda like when you hide behind pc or just plain reply lies and troll posts? yeah i smell desperation too.

Do you mind showing the facts that the Xbox is selling poorly?
